Be prepared to spend $8 to register a new domain name at GoDaddy with a credit, debit or Paypal account.

Note: We will be doing this as an exercise to learn the process. Please do not use a domain name that has active email on it. Changed the mail records could result in lost or bounced mail. For this reason, I ask that you be prepared to register an entirely new domain name at GoDaddy. The cost will be approx $8.
